Lu Ke hopes to stay in San Francisco.
Lech hopes Lu Ke will stay in San Francisco.
San Francisco also wants Lu Ke to stay where he is.
Everyone knows that no team will let go of its cornerstone quarterback, and other players can be traded. However, even if the quarterback is a substitute player, he will never give up easily until the last moment. of.
When Alex Smith left for the Kansas City Chiefs, it was because the San Francisco 49ers had Lu Ke and Colin Kaepernick on the bench. The team did not need to worry about the quarterback situation, otherwise even if Alex was kept As a backup, there is absolutely no way San Francisco's front office will let him go.
It can be said that in the NFL league, any decision about the quarterback must be cautious and cautious. As for a team like the Cleveland Browns that gambles on the draft every year, that's a rare sight.
But the question now is not the will of both parties, but how strong the will is, which will determine the level of the expected figures of both parties! Renewing a contract is definitely not a simple matter.
The San Francisco 49ers are building a new stadium. The York family not only loaned money to the city government, but also accepted equity investment from Gideon Yu. This means that the York family's assets are rising, but their liquidity is more restricted. Of course, this will not affect the decision to re-sign the quarterback.
However, financial constraints, coupled with the existence of a hard salary cap, also limit the boasts of team manager Trent Baalke.
More importantly, the other 31 teams in the league are also staring at Trent, and he cannot act rashly.
Why?
Lu Ke will only be a third-year player next, but if Lu Ke's contract reaches the top level, and even surpasses the current figures of the four elite quarterbacks in one go, setting a new high, Lu Ke and San Francisco will be in the limelight; But what should the other thirty-one teams do?
Most of the rookie contracts of those fourth-year and fifth-year players are four or five years. As long as they perform slightly better, they will inevitably increase their contract numbers in accordance with Lu Ke's collective contract requirements; although Lu Ke won the Super League Bowl, but stable, outstanding, and outstanding quarterbacks throughout the league are always in demand. Even if most quarterbacks do not win the Super Bowl, the salary quotations are still high.
Furthermore, the rookies who are about to enter the league will inevitably have more requirements for their contracts because they are all potential stocks with unlimited possibilities, just like Lu Ke.
In other words, Lu Ke's contract number affects the whole body. The status of a "third-year student" forces the entire league to be cautious. San Francisco does not dare to raise the contract casually. Otherwise, there is no need to consider San Francisco's own hard salary cap, and other teams will inevitably exert secret pressure. .
But Lechsteinberg is seeking not just a contract extension, but a history-making contract.
Halfway through the regular season, Lech had already begun to lay the groundwork step by step. After that, all the factors were shaping up to make this happen. From the undefeated season to the regular season MVP to the Super Bowl, it can be said to be smooth sailing. , slowly developing towards Lech's vision.
A contract, an excellent contract, is not difficult for San Francisco. Trent contacted Leh immediately. They obviously do not want to chill their main quarterback; but "excellent" is not enough. Yes, Lech wants more, and Trent wants to give more, but the current situation in San Francisco needs more buffers.
As Jerry Jones said, San Francisco is unwilling to let go of Lu Ke, but if the price is a history-making contract, they need to think again. Business is business. When things evolve into the calculation of numbers, then everything must be decided based on numbers: Can effort and income be directly proportional?
Jerry's choice of such an opportunity to intervene just proves his keen sense of business opportunities!
Laihe did not tell Lu Ke about these situations because he knew that Lu Ke did not care about these minute details and would not even be too entangled in the details of the contract figures. All he needed to do was to tell Lu Ke the overall situation and then base it on Use your own judgment to get the best contract plan for Lu Ke.
"I see."
Faced with Lu Ke's statement, Laihe nodded slightly in agreement.
"The current situation is like this, Dallas made a price that we couldn't refuse; and here in San Francisco, because of the hard salary cap and because of the capital chain, they still have a lot of work to discuss and discuss. But what I can say for sure is that, What Jerry Jones does is bound to have a ripple effect and I can take advantage of it and operate the game.”
After briefly laying out the entire situation, Lech concluded, "If you want to stay in San Francisco, then we're going to make it so that San Francisco has to issue the terms that we expect."
The smile on Lu Ke's lips rose, "Jerry Jones really did it, right? He really offered us a price we couldn't refuse." The captain of the American team was really domineering, "Why didn't you Tell me Jerry's conditions, are you worried that I will be too moved and change my mind?"
"Ha, of course not. You're the client, and I'm the one helping you make your wish come true. If you want to go to Dallas and make a record-breaking salary, I'm more than happy to help you get there; and if you want to stay in San Francisco and become The cornerstone quarterback of this team, and I'd love for them to understand how important you are."
Lech's voice was full of energy and you could feel that he was in a good mood. "However, I must admit that this is definitely a contract that is enough to shake the entire league."
"This makes me look forward to it even more." The reporter's essence in Lu Ke's body began to stir again, "Is it even better than Big Ben's contract?"
Ben Roethlisberger, one of Lech's only two current clients, performed well after entering the league in 2004. Lech won a new contract for Ben in 2008. At that time, there was still time before the end of Ben's rookie contract. It took two years, but Lech still managed to convince the Pittsburgh Steelers to complete the signing.
Eight years and $102 million!
At that time, this contract shocked the entire league, but during that season, Ben's performance was always ups and downs. He also suffered from right shoulder injuries and concussions during and at the end of the season, but the team still relied on defense. The team's strong performance reached the Super Bowl and defeated the Arizona Cardinals, winning their second Super Bowl championship ring.
"Ha, of course, of course! Ben's contract doesn't seem worth mentioning at all now. If the signing is completed, Ben will definitely call me to complain." Laich said firmly, and then he did not continue to talk about it. The answer was revealed directly, "$110 million over six years, including $65 million in guaranteed money."
110 million, with a deposit of 65 million!
What level is this? Only by understanding the current situation of the league can we understand Leh's excitement and excitement.
As mentioned before, the NFL adopts a hard salary cap, and because of the large number of players, the salary level cannot be compared with the NBA (Chapter 560). However, the NFL's league revenue is rising every year, and the upper limit of the hard salary cap is naturally increasing every year. This also keeps average salary figures rising.
There is no doubt that in the NFL, quarterbacks are the absolute core, and their salary level is also the absolute leader.
The highest salary in the league is currently held by Drew Brees. On June 13, 2012, Brees completed a contract extension with the New Orleans Saints. The contract value is as high as $100 million over five years, of which $60 million is guaranteed.
This contract set many records: the highest guaranteed deposit in league history! The first player in league history with an average annual salary of more than 20 million!
From the side, you can see the direct impact of the hard salary cap and player base on NFL salary. It was not until last season that we had the first player with an average annual salary of 20 million. This honor belongs to one of the four elite quarterbacks. Brees deserves it, and the salary levels of the other three elite quarterbacks are also among the highest.
Tom Brady completed his contract extension on September 10, 2010, with a four-year contract worth 72 million, a guarantee of 48.5 million, and an average annual salary of 18 million.
Peyton Manning transferred to the Denver Broncos on March 30, 2012, with a salary of $96 million over five years, $18 million in guaranteed money, and an average annual salary of $19.2 million.
Aaron Rodgers completed his contract extension on November 1, 2008, with a six-year contract of 65 million, a guarantee of 20 million, and an average annual salary of 10.8 million.
Among the four elite quarterbacks, Manning's transfer to the Denver Broncos is a special situation. After returning from injury, he needs to prove that he is still capable of playing the game and can still compete for the championship. Therefore, the guaranteed amount is very low and Manning did not sign. Bonus, according to the contract, Manning must undergo a physical examination every year. Only after passing the physical examination can he receive the corresponding salary for each year.
In addition, Rogers, the youngest, is obviously also the lowest paid. In fact, his salary is not even comparable to that of several other outstanding quarterbacks.
Tony Romo's contract extension was completed on October 30, 2007, for six years and 67.5 million, with a guaranteed deposit of 30 million and an average annual salary of 11.25 million.
Ben Roethlisberger signed a contract on March 4, 2008, with an eight-year contract worth 102 million, a guaranteed deposit of 36 million, and an average annual salary of 12.75 million.
However, Rogers' situation is also very special. After entering the league in 2005, he has been playing backup for legendary quarterback Brett Favre. There were even rumors in the 2007 offseason that the Green Bay Packers were preparing to trade Rogers to the Oakland Raiders. Demos was traded, but then Moss went to the New England Patriots, so Rodgers stayed.
After Favre announced his retirement in April 2008, the Green Bay Packers corrected Rogers. In just two months, Rogers proved his ability. In order to appease Rogers, the Packers' front office, after discussion, took the initiative to offer Rogers a new contract before his rookie contract expired.
Hence, the contract renewal in November 2008 came about. As a fourth-year student at the time, Rogers only had two months of starting experience, so his salary level was still relatively low and could not be compared with Romo, Roethlisberger and others.
From Brady to Manning to Brees, it shows step by step the improvement in the salary level of the league's quarterbacks, and finally Brees made history; and from Rodgers to Romo to Ben, this shows the league's attitude toward quarterbacks. Excellent quarterbacks are in desperate demand, and finding a cornerstone quarterback is definitely not an easy task.
Now Brees' contract is the highest level in the league. Lech's goal is naturally to hope to break the contract level that is at least close to or equal to Brees's and make history. However, San Francisco still has more situations to consider, and now Dallas has proposed a surprising Contracts.
Then, Dallas fulfilled Lech's hopes, and Jerry Jones made an incredible offer with a wave of his hand, directly matching Lech's needs:
110 million in six years, a guaranteed deposit of 65 million, and an average annual salary of 18.3 million!
